How to use Polycell Polyfilla for wood
1. Ensure surface and crack are dry and free from loose material.
2. It’s a good idea to touch in nails and screw heads with oil-based paint.
3. Stir Polycell Ready Mixed Finishing Skim Polyfilla to a smooth, creamy consistency.
4. Spread on with a paint brush using upward strokes.
5. Smooth over, using the free spreader moving in an upward curve.
6. Maintain a firm, even pressure. Don't worry about small irregularities or 'tramlines'.
7. Allow to dry for 2 to 3 hours until the surface appears matt.
8. Now use the spreader to achieve a flat, smooth finish, rewetting the surface if necessary.
9. After 3 to 4 hours you can re-wet the surface and rub gently with a damp cloth and use the spreader to remove and finish irregularities for a super-smooth finish.
10. Allow to dry for 24 hours. Prime before painting, size before papering.
